This exceptional microlot comes from smallholder farmers in the Chelchele area of Gedeb, a district celebrated for producing Ethiopia’s most explosive cup profiles. At EDN’s Chelchele site, cherries are carefully hand-sorted and floated, then sealed in carbon fiber drums for 7–10 days of cool-temperature anaerobic fermentation. This process intensifies the fruit character while maintaining remarkable balance and clarity. After a slow, gradual drying on raised beds and a resting period for flavor stability, the result is a coffee that bursts with vibrant fruit, syrupy sweetness, and sparkling, clean complexity—an expression of Gedeb’s unique terroir.
